1.INTRODUCTION
Primary need of human being in today’s world is food, clothing and shelter. House construction is a dream for low-income
people in India. Whether he is a farmer, labour or private employee, cost of constructionishighbecauseofhighwagesandhigh
material cost. A poor man has to spend hisentire life in construction of a house. Low-costhousingisreasonablefor low-income
owners, if they can invest 30% of their household income. India as a developing country, has 20% of high-income population
that can afford a house High- and middle-income people takeover most of the lowincome housing. There is a necessity ofcost-
efficient construction technology and construction materials. A lowcost housing doesn’tmeantosacrificethestrengthorbuild
with operational materials but it means effective use of local materials and techniques that are durable and require less
maintenance. Low-cost material reduces the cost by using alternative techniques. In India, there is a huge requirement for
building materials due to the existing housing shortage mainly in urban India andtill date,ittakesa lifetimeworth ofsavingsto
buy a house. To overcome this problem, India needsinnovative,high efficient building materialsforstronganddurablehousing
at an affordable cost. GFRG Panel provides fast construction and provides environmental protection. A lot of efforts had been
made earlier by the industry experts to find an alternative method to existing construction technology to make it more
affordable and innovative. Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG ) is one of the such technologiesintheconstruction fieldthat
could reduce the construction cost .and construction period. In thisproject wearecomparingGFRGbuildingwithconventional
RCC building.We design a house plan usingAutoCAD,ExteriordesignusingSketchup Software,analysethebuildingusingstaad
pro for both RCC and GFRG building. Then we compare the results of RCC and GFRG Building and conclude which is best.
2.LITERATURE REVIEW
Pranay Thergaonkar , Mohit Nagpal et al. (2018) There is a rapid increase in the requirement of building materialsinIndia
due to the existing condition of transformation from temporary housing to a permanent housing causing shortage of housing
material. Construction industry was still using traditional methods, techniques and conventional technologies. Low-cost and
affordable housing is a better way to provide the shelter to the lower middle class and poor families which can be reached
through the use of proper techniques. To achieve effective and affordable construction, a material known as GFRG (Glassfiber
reinforced gypsum) has been studied. Glass fiber reinforced gypsum (GFRG) wall panel consist of gypsum in its plaster form
and glass fibres which are bonded together. This panels have hollow cavity from inside and so can be used as load bearing
walls. The hollow cavity inside the walls is filled with reinforced concrete based on the needs. There is various other material
which can be used for affordable housing but in this study the main focus is kept on GFRG.

Pankaj Kumar (2021) There is a substantial growing demand for housing in India as thepopulation increase rate is
skyrocketing. More and more people are shifting from rural to urban areas day by day, making urban areas denser. The
Ministry of Rural Development assessed that India's rustic housing lack remains at 44 million dwelling units. To address the
difficulties, India requires innovative, modern energy-effective construction materials for a reliable, quick, and toughhousing
strategy for development at a moderate expense. It is likewise significant that housing structuresarecatastrophesimpervious
to secure individuals' lives and properties. One strategy to accomplish that is to utilize Glass Fiber ReinforcedGypsum(GFRG)
panels.They serve the purpose of fast construction and be cost-efficient, earthquake-resistant, bestsuitable for the financially
Indian backward class of people and in the country's earthquake-prone regions like Gujarat. The phosphogypsum's effective
disposal is achieved through the Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) panel, also known as Rapid wall.Thesecan beusedas
load-bearing as well as non-loadbearing structures. To use GFRG in loadbearing buildings, M20grade concrete is used as a
filling material to overcome the hurdlesprovided by gravity and other factors. M20 grade concrete is used in these panels to
satisfythe minimum requirements mentioned in IS 456:2000.
Salini S, D. Vimal et al. (2020) Even though the construction industry is one of the booming industries in the world which is
measured as a sign of growth and development, one of the major setbacks is the time consumption involved in operation and
progress of this industry. Many techniques and methodologies are adopted to overcome that hindrance,one of among that is
GFRG panels. GFRG panels also known as rapid wall. This technologyiswidelyusedin constructionofwalls,roofandfloorslabs
in with or without in combination with concrete. This project is mainly consisted the study of Comparison between the
conventional RC building construction technique and GFRG Construction. The analysis of the structures are carried out in E-
Tabs software. From the results of analysis shear force, story drift, story displacement of the three structures is compared
andresults are represented graphically to study their performance.

This research paper is about costing and rate analysis of GFRG structure and conventional structure. Being an engineer is our
first priority calling for solutions that work for our customers. This paper an effort made to give an idea of how we can do that
reducing construction costs and reducing construction time uses predesign technology. GFRG construction technology also
called as Rapid wall construction technology in India. Glass Fiber reinforced with gypsum panels, as they are ready-made
gypsum building panels have cavities. It is used in commercial buildings, institutions and residential buildings.GFRGwallscan
be used as part of the structure such as walls and slabs, without outer columns and beams are required.

10.CONCLUSION
This study investigated the importance of Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) structure hasmuch better than Reinforced
Cement Concrete(RCC) structures. The panels have good lifespanas sameas concretestructure.Nowadaystheuseofpanelsfor
construction involves gradually, but still most of the people are not aware in this type of construction practice for residential
building from this project we have created some awareness about the construction of panel systems. Initial stage of project is
Datahascollectedinthevariousaspectsofplanning,designingandanalyzingparameterthesecondstageofthestudyispreparing
of G+1 building plan using AUTOCADD, Design and analysis using STADD PRO and 3D modelling using SKETCH UP, Estimation
using MS EXCEL, Scheduling using MS PROJECT, resource allocation and so on. The main motto of this project is to create
awareness among peopleabout the construction at affordable price.
